| Abstract |
The switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive system provides a good adjustable speed and torque characteristics. SRM has the possibility of maintaining full power over a wide speed range. So, many attempts are being done from home appliances to industrial machinery and tools. Especially, the traction drive of SRM is one of a good application due to it's torque characteristics. However, because of the switching mechanism, it has some disadvantage of noise and vibration. It is difficult to adopt to an appliance demanding silence. A noise simulations and test of 3-phase 6/4, 6/8 and 12/8 SRM were done in other to compare each other. The test results show that 12/8 SRM has good noise characteristics. |
